Where did your tax dollars go?

Interesting pie chart. Seems most of my taxes go to military defense.

It seems to me that the pie chart is split pretty evenly between defense, social security and medicare.


Where did my California state tax all go Barbara?...I think I paid almost 3 grand.

That is really interesting!

Btw the military is nefarious :) I clicked on 'income security' and a bit of that goes to the military retirement fund.

Pete

thanks Pete!
I am going to buy a Mcintosh amp with my next retirement check;)

Gaaa!!

:D

Pete

It seems to work that way at 30k, 50k, and even 250k. :(


Neat site Barbara, thanks!


Carl

Hey guys you need to keep me in style.

The military consumes roughly all income tax revenue. The federal gov't pays for everything else with debt.

My suspicion is that web site merely ties your income level to your IP address. The web site owners then sell your data.

Like I have said before (despite derision from my left wing buddies that do not like the MIC) it is big chunk of our economy. If it goes away we will all have to work at Walmart perhaps. And do not think your private place of employment is not tied to it in some way.

flame away

lol

No flames, but there are countless other things we need that could use up the money and employ people in the process, it is a function of priorities methinks

Could you not do what you now do in support of government programs that rebuilds infrastructure, improves and guards our borders and that sort of stuff, giving us well paying jobs that generate income tax and increases consumer spending?

:)


Carl

I am all in favor of that sort of infrastructure stimulus.:)

I agree, mostly.
I believe we need the personnel to keep the military at the ready.
What I disagree with is the amount of money spent on weapons when we already have enough power to wipe out any other country on the earth.
I also recent paying the salaries of those decision makers who think we have to justify a war to satisfy their own private agendas.

The trouble with giving the military new toys is that they get impatient and must play with them.

What upsets me the most is all the state government employees playing solitare on their government computers....

What pisses me off is xray techs kickin' back with their feet up, listening to music on my tax dollars...:rolleyes: (Typing nonsense on their iPhones);)

Agree with all of the above.

Contained therein are all the problems I have with allowing the military to become a primary "jobs program", which it has.

Butchery as our leading industry? Starting wars because we need to create some jobs?

Does nobody see the potential for wrongdoing in that?

Okay, Pete. Time to que up the, "Oooooo, he said America is evil!" Bullshit. All I have to say to that is, "Well, what would you call it if it was someone else stimulating their economy by bring war to OUR shores?":rolleyes:

Christian principles my ass.

Dave

guilty!


now you know I was only joking lol:D

We must find the middle ground between Dave and Pete;)

Why? Pete's wrong...;)

Me, too. Touche on the Macintosh joke. Coffee thru the sinus on that one...:D

LOL!

Besides, there's middle ground. It's the table, use it to set your beer down :)

Pete

Did someone just call a bier summit?!

Gawd I hope not, the doc said it was only a sinus infection.

Wait. What? :D

Pete

I used to drink that all the time!!!!!
:)

Rolling Rock not good enough for you?:D

I would not be surprised if that is Weidemans just packaged in a nicer bottle with an exotic label lol.....

of course if one could not afford Pabst good old USA beer in the red white and blue can (U Save Alot) was quite the ticket at $2 a six lol

I saw a Weidemans truck once, it's slogan was 'It's the water, I tell you', someone crossed out the 'the' :D

That rye is BITTER. And you can taste the rye. Did I mention it's bitter?

Regular Genny here, back in the day. $2 a six too :)

Pete

Das hab Ich nicht gewusst. Ich mog ein Deutsches Bier viele besser! :eek: :D

Yeah, me too. But, I was like, 17 and buying it illegally with lawn mowing money. We can afford better beer now. Geez.

Dave

We used to stand outside Lawsons (the local convienient store) and ask people to buy us beer. They would.

There were a couple places that didn't care but they were pretty far.

Pete

I drink Guinness to assure myself that I will not become an alcoholic. Couldn't afford to.

Regards,

D-Ray

Back in the day, there was an ancient drive-up place in Warren across from the Republic mill on Pine Ave. The old man in the window had glasses that had to be a half inch thick. He always asked for ID, but he was so blind he couldn't read them. We went there ALL of the time.:D

Dave

Bunch'a beer snobs! Where's the bacon?

Huh? Drinkin' Rolling Rock, make's me a snob? Gaw, it's the end of civilization! Run for yer lives!:D
